Marylanders who are serving in Afghanistan recently had the opportunity to wish their mothers and loved ones a Happy MotherÆs Day.

Those from the Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System recorded hundreds of them and other Americans who are serving overseas for MotherÆs Day. The System is a state-of-the-art, 24/7 operation that provides media from around the world to those serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.

Many Marylanders, like SPC Kenisha Brown, of Baltimore, and PFC Chadwick Thompson, of Salisbury, wanted to send their mothers a message for MotherÆs Day.

Both are serving in Afghanistan.
